Abstract
The problems faced by Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) in Taiwan, there are still several problems such as unpaid salaries, work accidents, Indonesian Migrant Workers repatriation, sexual harassment, abuse, and illegal/runaway Indonesian Migrant Workers. This problem has prompted Indonesia and Taiwan to renew the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two countries to resolve Indonesian Migrant Worker problems. There are 3 (three) ways to solve the problem, namely conducting Indonesia-Taiwan cooperation, recruiting/re-collecting Indonesian Migrant Worker' data, and protecting Indonesian Migrant Workers. These efforts have been made since the reforms in 2018; this is because previous actions did not go well; therefore, the two countries agreed again so that Indonesian Migrant Workers in Taiwan get protection and the problem can be resolved quickly. Then, after the cooperation renewal, the issues experienced by Indonesian Migrant Workers in Taiwan in 2020 were determined with a percentage of 83.3%. It means Indonesia has succeeded in resolving the Indonesian Migrant Workers problem with the efforts that have been agreed upon by Taiwan.
Highlights
Indonesian workers, or better known as Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) are one of the largest contributors to the country's foreign exchange [4]
In 2020, the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI) noted that the incoming money from problems faced by Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) was around 157.6 trillion rupiahs [9]. This can not be separated from so many PMI worked abroad. This trend occurs due to the difficulty of available job opportunities in Indonesia, especially the limited level of education so that it is difficult to compete with scholars who are looking for work

Summary
Indonesian workers, or better known as Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) are one of the largest contributors to the country's foreign exchange [4]. In 2020, the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI) noted that the incoming money from PMI was around 157.6 trillion rupiahs [9]. This can not be separated from so many PMI worked abroad. The factors that encourage prospective workers to choose to work abroad are caused by the large salaries received by workers. This trend has a positive value because it can reduce unemployment which is accounted in high number in Indonesia [11]. This figure is lower than the last two years, 5.13 percent in February 2018 and 5.01 percent in February 2019
